Most LED light panels have a mix of something like 2800-3000K and 4800-5000K.
If you look up the specs of some commercial lights, this would give you an idea as to what they use.
I doubt the home style E27 LED globes would have anywhere near the right spectrums for plant growth, they are mainly designed for people to read the newspaper by, not grow killer buds!
Just because they are LED bulbs does not mean they are suitable LEDs to grow plants with, not all LEDs are created equal.
Good on you for trying DIY and having a go, but I bet you will end up buying a proper commercially made LED in the future.....so you may as well just get it over with and buy a proper light straight up.
Save up and get the best one you can afford.....as they say....."buy once, cry once"!

@WeedManz, You'll do fine :) This is a great community, so don't hesitate to reach out to members whenever you have a question or a problem.
I have one tip, and that is to upgrade your light. Your current light is a few generations old, and there currently are significantly better alternatives. You'll get more light, a better spectrum, and increased yield while using less energy, which is nice considering the increased energy costs.
I just saw your grow question, which is funny because last night, I watched a video about how to make a grow light out of E27s. Just search youtube for "migro DIY," and it'll be the top hit.
If you don't know, Migro is an Irish company making great lights, and it's run by a guy called Shane, a grow lights YouTuber.
The point is that he knows what he is doing and got pretty decent numbers out of the light he built, so maybe look into that if you decide to go the DIY route.
Though I agree that it's better to buy a quality light, sometimes money is tight, so DIY is the way to go. Plus, it's fun to tinker ;)
